BMW vehicles are synonymous with luxury and quality. Maintaining the interior of your BMW requires regular cleaning. Keep your car’s interior in great condition with these essential interior detailing items.

Leather Cleaner

Many BMWs come standard with premium leather interiors. In order to keep this interior looking and feeling new, it requires a high-quality, leather-cleaning material. Make sure to remove any excess debris before applying the leather cleaner. Choose a leather-cleaning material that is made for your leather’s color and type. Make sure it also has a UV protectant. This can protect your interior from fading and other sun-related damage.

High-Quality Vacuum With Attachments

Over time, outdoor dirt and debris can make its way into your vehicle’s interior and result in a dirty cabin. To efficiently clean the interior of your BMW, you will want a high-pressure vacuum with attachments to reach the tightest of spots.

Specific attachments, like the crevice attachment and the dust brush attachment, can help you reach between seats, under seats, and deep into the vehicle’s trunk. Use a round brush attachment to clean out the vehicle’s center console and air vents.

Stain Remover

Stains can easily diminish the quality of a BMW’s interior. While it is best to immediately clean up any spills, this is not always possible. Try removing the stain with a carpet shampoo cleaner or steam vac. If it is still stained, you might need something a little stronger.

You can schedule a professional stain removal service or you can try removing the stain yourself with a carpet stain remover. Vigorously scrub the stain with a brush in circular motions. Keep the stain remover in an easily accessible location for future stains. For best results, remove or start removing stains immediately.

Microfiber Towels

Microfiber towels are ideal for cleaning a BMW interior. Microfiber towels are made of tiny, synthetic strands of material. The small size makes them extremely absorbent and durable. Also, the towels do not smear dirt and will not scratch the interior of your BMW leather.

In fact, microfiber towels are commonly used when detailing the exterior of the car because the materials do not scratch the paint or wax. It is a good idea to keep a large supply of microfiber cloths around because you will want to replace your cloth with each cleaning.

Glass Cleaner

While you can effectively clean the exterior of your windows by simply washing your car, it does not clean the window’s interior. Use a glass cleaner when scrubbing the interior windows. Spray the cleaner directly on the microfiber towel instead of the window to avoid streaking. It is also important to use a new towel for each window cleaning. The dried-up cleaner can prevent you from getting a clean, shiny finish.

A good auto detail from time to time is necessary for keeping your BMW interiors clean and well protected. These are some of the best cleaning items to have around for a quick interior clean.
